I'm so happy everyone in the comments is engaging in a thoughtful and informed manner and not just spouts uninformed nonsensical talking points from both sides to see who can shout the loudest.
Sooooo not anti-pervert and a generic publicity stunt. Haha please laugh etc. Don't have anything against DDG but can only roll my eyes at something like this
I'm glad that you have extra income to buy drive per OS to insert into your PC, but there are these things that are called laptops, and sometimes people have them, and sometimes they have quite old ones and non-extensible ones and you get where I'm going with this?
It’s not. And its not supposed to be. Its to fund the development of the browser.
"Deal with worse UX or pay us to develop more crap" is not a good way to entice "voluntary" donations. Though I guess they know their audience is full of copium anyway, maybe it is an effective way at least, we'll see.
Would you like to know or were just just wanting to be contrarian?
Funny you should say that, usually when I check tech threads - somehow you're always there being downvoted to all hell for writing something edgy in a very pedantic (i.e. obnoxious) way. Including this thread. You could have just listed the damn features twice already when prompted about them, but you're actively choosing to continue bullshitting as though you're on twitter and farming for clout. I think I'll just block you now.
I don't know what you're on about. There is no keylogger and I don't have any issues with the engine unless it's some weird ass "chrome experiments" style website which I couldn't care less about.
Most browsers don’t allow you to easily toggle on and off certain privacy features on a per-site basis
I don't know what "certain features" are. LibreWolf lets me easily enable WebGL on per-site basis and uBlock could always do that anyway. I don't need to touch anything else.
Origin is free on Linux.
Yes, and you can also toggle everything off via config. That does not matter, it's still a scummy move that should be ridiculed. How, exactly, is a dashboard that toggles some settings on or off is worth 60 dollars? It's not "paying for convenience" it's a tax on tech incompetency.
No, talking about semicolons and tabs and spaces for the umpteenth time is not how we build real skills, and you shouldn't waste your time "thinking" about it. You should run a linter that will format it for you and you should choose formatting rules that everyone working on the codebase in the future would be mostly OK with. Splitting hairs about when to insert a semicolon ain't it.
If you don't trust the guy who "literally invented rsync in 1996" to do right by his project which he has been doing quite all right with for the past 28 years, then I don't know how to help you. I'd like to put forward an insane idea that he might know what he's doing and is not vibecoding with a blindfold on and a beer in his hand.
Track is not the same as scan, and it doesn't have much to do with Flock. The OP was very much misinformed in that regard.
